A fenti hivatkozáson érhető el a cikk, gondoltam érdekes lehet angolul tudóknak. Arról szól, hogy a Fidesz már nem tudja 100%-ban uralni a közbeszédet, és érdekes fordulat, hogy egy volt NER-es politikus ugrik ki. Jó olvasást!

It has been a tumultuous week in Budapest. Peter Magyar, a senior but obscure Hungarian official, has come from nowhere to upend his country’s politics, threatening to bring down the once unassailable Viktor Orban, Hungary’s populist leader.
Best known previously for running the student loans authority and being the former spouse of Judit Varga, a glamorous high-flying justice minister, Magyar, whose name has ancient roots and means Hungarian, has become a political mega-star.
He is the first member of Orban’s inner circle in the Fidesz party to publicly break with him, promising to oust the nationalist leader in what has been a torrid few days of corruption allegations and bitter fighting with his former wife, who has remained loyal to the government.

With his many television and radio appearances since accusing Orban and Antal Rogan, his cabinet chief, of corruption, Magyar, 43, has become one of the most popular figures in Hungary, with polling putting him on a theoretical 13 per cent of the vote.
“Until a few weeks ago, Magyar was virtually unknown. Now, he is dominating conversations and headlines in Hungary, causing discomfort for Orban and the government,” said Anna Donath, a liberal MEP and a leader of the Hungarian opposition.

His revolt is the first major crack in Orban’s famously loyal inner circle, of which Magyar was once seen as a key part.
One veteran Hungarian conservative, who has known Orban since they were both young dissidents under the communist regime in the Eighties, believes that dissent among the ruling figures of Fidesz will be what brings about the government’s downfall.

“Viktor has always managed to keep his circle loyal or under control,” he said. “When that loyalty breaks, that is what will bring him down, not the opposition, who are useless.”
The son of a lawyer, Magyar joined Fidesz in 2002, before the party was the dominant force in Hungarian politics, which separates him from opposition socialists and liberals who are tainted in people’s minds by close links with “progressive” American and EU funding.
Hungary’s long marginalised opposition is hopeful that Magyar could turn their fortunes around. “We will only be able to overthrow the Orban system with one or more ex-Orbanist groups and cadres,” wrote Sandor Revesz in the opposition Heti Vilaggazdasag newspaper.

Until a month ago, Orban, Europe’s longest serving prime minister, was confidently ruling the roost and predicting an earthquake for populists and nationalists in European elections, where Varga, 43, would be the party’s multilingual, pan-European face.
On February 10 everything went wrong. Katalin Novak, an Orban protégée and the president of Hungary, was forced to resign for giving a presidential pardon to a care home official who had helped to cover up a paedophile scandal. The pardon had come at the request of Zoltan Balog, a bishop and head of the Hungarian Calvinist church, who is close to Orban and Fidesz.
Varga, who had signed off the pardon while justice minister, was forced to resign as well. Magyar, her ex-husband — they divorced last year — and father of her three children, leapt to her defence, accusing Orban and his cronies of hiding “behind women’s skirts”. “It is necessary to say that this cannot go on,” said Magyar, launching himself as a public opponent to the government.
Magyar proved his worth in political combat over the next few weeks with a vendetta against Rogan, 52, a key cabinet minister, who is in charge of national security and is seen as a potential heir to Orban, 60.
On Friday March 15, the bank holiday marking Hungary’s anti-Habsburg revolt of 1848-1849, he stole the show from Orban himself with a passionate speech launching a new “Stand Up for Hungarians” movement in front of a huge crowd in Budapest.

Last week Magyar threw a political hand grenade — but one that has wounded him too — with the publication of a recording of him talking to his wife in January 2023, when she was justice minister. The recording appeared to suggest that Rogan pressured prosecutors in a major bribery case.

It was made last year in the Magyar-Varga family home as their marriage collapsed into acrimony and allegations against him of domestic violence. Under pressure from her husband, Varga says Rogan “recommended to the prosecutors what should be removed” from case files in a major corruption scandal that goes to trial this spring.
Katalin Cseh, another opposition MEP, said: “The regime is rotten to its core. We’ve known this for long, now insiders corroborate it too. The EU must not stand idly by.
“I think current events are moving very fast and I hope people will come out of the inner circle like Magyar did so there can be some real accountability. Now it is getting hard for Orban to put forward his narratives and [this is] an opportunity for us to highlight real issues like corruption.”
Whether Magyar can rally the opposition remains to be seen, but as Gabor Torok, a prominent political scientist, notes, “Fidesz has lost control of the public discourse”.
